Coordinators in South and East Bristol

You could help make a life-changing difference to people in your community. Would you be interested in connecting adults who want to learn to read with volunteer reading coaches? This role is essential in supporting the work of the coaches, helping people learn to read.

The Coordinator is the primary point of contact for individuals seeking to learn to read. Using a simple assessment, the Coordinator will explain to a potential new ‘Reader’ how Read Easy may be able to help them.
The Coordinator pairs up new Coaches with those who want to learn to read and provides ongoing support to these reading pairs. They visit reading sessions and maintain support through regular calls with both the Reader and Coach to check that all is going well. They also interview potential coaches with a member of the management team. They have the support of the literary specialists and our friendly management team. The coordinators meet regularly with each other and the coordinator supporter, and benefit from their support.

Being a Read Easy Coordinator is very flexible. You decide how much time you have to offer, and this will determine the number of reading pairs you look after. The role provides lots of variety, is home-based, and can work well around other commitments.
